We have a Chinese Garden and a Japanese Garden… but have you heard of the Arabian Garden? Here’s a picture of the garden taken in 1940:
kinkonkid discovered this photograph taken by his father, but was unfamiliar with the reference:
For a while I was wondering where this garden was.
It was taken in Jun/Jul 1940 – while dad was on a school excursion to Singapore with the Yuk Middle School graduation class -育才初级中学. Dad was 16years old then.
Written on the back of the photograph in Chinese was -星洲阿拉伯花园 – Arabian Garden, Singapore. A google on – Arabian Garden Singapore – did not throw up a meaningful link.
A chance find on Biblioasia, the news journal of the National Library shed light on where this garden might be. Do you know? Find out the answer in kinkonkid’s post here.
